Adhesive PE for pipe coating.


A new maleic-anhydride grafted LLDPE LLDPE Linear Low Density Polyethylene  adhesive resin is specially designed to for anticorrosion coatings on on oil, gas, and water pipelines. Lucalen G3710E from Lvondell-Basell Industries, Wilmington, Del., is used as an adhesive layer in three-layer coatings, between fusion-bonded epoxy epoxy

Any of a class of thermosetting polymers, polyethers built up from monomers with an ether group that takes the form of a three-membered epoxide ring. The familiar two-part epoxy adhesives consist of a resin with epoxide rings at the ends of its molecules and a curing
